Disclaimer: The time frame for this story is Season 1, around the time
of Band of Brothers. It is the first part of a trilogy of Darius stories
I have written, and is continued by "Crossroads"
and "Journey". (I made some slight revisions to "Perception
of Shadows" in 2004 to improve the writing, but the story essentially remains the
same). The Connollys, Diana and James, Aidan, and Madame Brioude are characters I created. Enkidu/Brother Enrique
is a character created by my friend AC, and appears in a number of her stories,
including "Gilgamesh Redeemed"and
"Ouroboros".
Many thanks to her for letting me "borrow" him. Daray, in his pre-Messenger
persona, also belongs to AC. Darius, Methos, Sean Burns, and Darius'
mortal student Jean Pierre, and other Immortals referred to but not having
"speaking parts" in the story belong to Davis Panzer Productions, and the
usual disclaimers apply. I don't do this for profit. Send comments and
questions regarding "The Perception of Shadows," or the other stories to
